BASTONE DA MARESCIALLO D`ITALIA
Italia, 1936
Estremità in argento sbalzato raffigurante teste leonine, scudi, armi africane, palme e girali, uno dei due testali reca nella parte superiore la scritta "Maresciallo d`Italia 16-11-1936" e al centro il nome di Emilio de Bono, racchiuso tra stelle a cinque punte, sotto le parti in argento due ghiere dorate sormontate da 4 stelle simbolo dell`alto grado, fusto ricoperto in velluto con croci smaltate e nodi sabaudi, come si può notare questo raro cimelio non è un dono di stato ma una cosa concessa a titolo onorifico da Associazioni patriottiche o coloniali all`alto Ufficiale.
Emilio De Bono (Cassano d`Adda, 19 marzo 1866 - Verona 11 gennaio 1944), nel 1935 fu nominato comandante delle truppe italiane per le prime fasi della Guerra di Etiopia, occupando il Tigre, il 14 ottobre 1935, promulgò il bando che metteva fuori legge lo schiavismo nella regione del Tigrè.

Silver-embossed tip decorated with lion-like heads, shields, African weapons, palms and swirl motifs, one of the two heads bears the inscription "Maresciallo d`Italia 16-11-1936" in the upper area and in the centre the name, "Emilio de Bono" enclosed within a five-point star, under the silver areas lie two gilded ring nuts surmounted by four stars, a symbol of high rank; velvet-covered haft with enamelled crosses and Savoy knots; as one can see this rare object is not a state gift but an object with honorary title granted by patriotic or colonial associations to a high-ranking Officer.Emilio De Bono (Cassano d`Adda , 19 March 1866 - Verona 11 January 1944), was nominated Commander of the Italian troops in 1935, for the early stages of the Ethiopian War, occupying Tigrè on 14 October 1935 and he promulgated the degree that outlawed slavery in the Tigrè region. During the course of the war, he employed tactics that were perhaps too cautious and for this he was substituted with Pietro Badoglio by Il Duce, before this substitution he had conquered Axum and Macallè and was nominated Marshal of Italy on the very same day.

In occasion of our end of year auction to be held on our premises on 7th and 8th December 2013, a group of oriental weapons, including daggers with jade, precious stone and coral grips and exceptional damascened swords decorated with gilt motifs will be sold; all significant for both their refined workmanship and outstanding quality.
Collectors of historic memorabilia will be interested for the sale of a rare Le Mat revolver that was given to General Giuseppe Garibaldi and a Mod. 55 presentation sabre, which was also presented to the hero. There will also be of a number of cased duelling pistols, rare revolvers and some pairs of very fine Italian flintlock pistols.
The famous gunsmith Carlo Maria Colombo from Milan is well represented by two superb examples of percussion weapons. Two pairs of Northern European wheel-lock pistols are also worthy of note.
The edged weapons include Risorgimento swords and important Ottoman and Indo-Persian scimitars. Helmets and shields, also from Asia, a rare outfit worn by the Officer of the Bodyguards of Tsar Nicholas I, a significant group of European and Italian guns of remarkable rarity and high technical quality, are also of great interest.
The Haut Époque is well represented by an important seventeenth century cup hilt sword from Lombardy decorated with mascherons and swirl motifs.
Given the varied nature and large number of items up for auction, we feel certain to receive an extraordinary response from both Italian and international collectors.
